The modular design of the WITec microscope systems allows to combine various imaging techniques such as Raman imaging, fluorescence, luminescence, atomic force microscopy (AFM), near-field microscopy (SNOM or NSOM) and scanning electron microscopy in one single instrument without compromising the analyzing and imaging quality.
The integrated WITec software interface enables user-friendly measurement control, quick and easy correlation of the results and image overlay.
On this image, you see beautiful correlative Raman-fluorescence microscopy on a biological cell. Green: GFP fluorescence; yellow, pink and white: Raman signal of nucleus, nucleoli and lipids, respectively.
The Raman-SEM (RISE) combination is a unique correlative microscopy technique provided by WITec. Structures in the nm-range detected by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) can be correlated to chemical Raman imaging from the same sample area.

This picture shows correlative Raman-SEM (RISE) image of TiO2 particles. The Raman image is overlaid on the SEM image. Different modifications of TiO2 were analyzed by Raman microscopy (blue: anatase, red: rutile).
By combining confocal Raman imaging with AFM, the chemical composition of the sample can be linked with the surface characteristics. These two complementary techniques are available in combined Raman-AFM WITec microscopes for flexible and comprehensive sample characterization.
